by the way, I found the exact same interpretation in another place:
Quote:
There has also been some heated discussion on a possible loophole in the 22nd amendment that might allow Bill Clinton to serve beyond his
prescribed constitutional limit. There is nothing in the language of the 22nd Amendment that precludes a former president from becoming vice-president. So, for example, Al Gore or Hilary Clinton could run for president in 2004 and name Bill Clinton as their vice-president.
Upon the death, incapacity, impeachment, or resignation of the president, Bill Clinton could then assume the office. There is a statement in the 12th Amendment which appears to cover this loophole, however: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

In an article title "Why the Constitution Permits a Clinton-Gore
ticket," Michael C. Dorf, vice dean and professor of law at Columbia
University, says that the 12th Amendment would allow Clinton to become
Vice-President, however. "The 12th Amendment would allow a Clinton vice-presidency. Its language only bars from the vice-presidency those persons who are "ineligible to the office" of President. Clinton is
not ineligible to the office of president, however
. He is only disqualified (by the 22nd Amendment) from being elected to that office."
